Hearing the sound of the hospital's number calling machine, Liu Liangjie and Sister Hong helped Grandma Lu up on both sides and walked into Emergency Room No. 2.
Liu Jingze took Su Tiantian's hand and walked into the clinic.
The doctor was not surprised to see so many people coming in. It was common to see several family members accompanying their elderly parents to the hospital for emergency treatment at night. He said, "Please let the patient sit down. What's wrong with you?"
Sister Hong said: "The old man had diarrhea three times since around 10 o'clock in the evening and felt like vomiting."
The doctor asked, "Is the stool watery or does it appear to be a loose, mushy mess? Where does it hurt?"
Grandma Lu said, "It's thin, and it hurts here."
The doctor asked, "Do you have a fever? Are you feeling unwell anywhere else?"
After the consultation, the doctor diagnosed me with gastroenteritis and advised me to take medicine first and come back to the hospital if there was no improvement.
Liu Jingze went to pay the bill and get the medicine, while Grandma Lu and Su Tiantian sat on the chairs.
Liu Liangjie said, "Mom, please come back to me later. I'm worried about you going back to the village in your condition."
Grandma Lu said, "Okay, today is Chinese Valentine's Day. I've been picking some fruit in the yard and wanted to give it to you guys this morning."
The Qixi mist fruit is a traditional custom in this area. Every year on the night of the sixth day of the seventh lunar month, people will put the fruit they want to eat on a plate and place the fruit in the open air, saying that the fruit will be soaked in the dew of the seventh day of the seventh lunar month.
It is said that eating fruit soaked in Qixi water will bring good health. People of Grandma Lu's generation are particularly particular about this.
Su Tiantian said, "Grandma, last night I asked Sister Lan to take some fruits to the courtyard to pickle them. Can you please move back and live here permanently? Dad and Brother Jing are very worried about you."
Grandma Lu was a little hesitant. Living in the village was lively and free, and she was used to this kind of life. But living with her sons and grandsons was also human nature. When people get old, it is indeed better to be with their relatives. Although the house in the village is only a 20-minute drive from the Liu family villa, it is sometimes inconvenient if they don't live together.
Su Tiantian took Grandma Lu's hand, placed it on her belly, and said, "Grandma, the babies also want to live with Grandma."
There was a small bulge in her abdomen, as if in response to what Su Tiantian said, the babies were moving. Grandma Lu, who had been feeling uncomfortable, also smiled at this moment: "Okay, just don't think I'm nagging or troublesome."
Su Tiantian said, "When I was little, my grandma didn't like me and didn't take care of me. It was you who often took care of me. How could I think you were nagging or troublesome? In the future, the family will still rely on grandma. Brother Jing and I have to go to work, so you have to help look after the children."
Grandma Lu’s sons and grandsons are her soft spot, and her great-grandson is no exception. She said, “You’ve always been able to make people happy since you were young.”
Liu Liangjie was very happy to hear that Grandma Lu was willing to go back and live there permanently. Although there were caregivers, drivers, and part-time workers to take care of her in the village house, he still wanted to live with Grandma Lu, so he said, "It's past one in the morning now. Wait until Jingze finishes breakfast in the morning and ask him to bring someone to move your luggage for you."
This impatience made Grandma Lu laugh. She said, "I've already agreed. I will definitely move back. Why is there such a rush? Today is Chinese Valentine's Day, and Jingze wants to be with Tiantian."
Su Tiantian said, "Maybe Brother Jing is even more anxious than Dad. On the way to the hospital, he was trying to persuade you to move back home."
Grandma Lu pressed her abdomen, her expression a little uncomfortable. Sister Hong said, "Grandma Liu probably wants to go to the bathroom."
Grandma Lu nodded. Sister Hong and Liu Liangjie helped Grandma Lu up and walked to the bathroom. Liu Liangjie hurriedly said, "Azhi, you stay here with Mrs. Liu."
Su Tiantian knew her current situation, so she sat there obediently. Grandma Lu had someone to take care of her, so she just had to take care of herself.
When Liu Jingze came back with the medicine, he and his mother-in-law also came back. Su Tiantian said, "Brother Jing, let grandma take the medicine first before going home. She is feeling very uncomfortable now."
Liu Jingze said, "Okay."
Sister Hong said, "Mr. Liu, here is Grandma Liu's kettle." Sister Hong has been taking care of Grandma Lu for more than two years. Every time she goes out, she will bring everything Grandma Lu needs and is very careful in her work.
On the way home from the hospital, Liu Jingze's mood was noticeably lighter. Firstly, according to the doctor, Grandma Lu was fine, and secondly, Grandma Lu agreed to move back home with him. He said, "Tiantian, I'm sorry for putting you down. Today is Valentine's Day, and I don't have much time to spend with you."
Su Tiantian swallowed the bread in her mouth before saying, "If you are nice to me, every day is Valentine's Day. If you are not nice to me, what does it matter if it is Valentine's Day?" She was really hungry. Usually at this time of the day she would have had a midnight snack and gone back to bed.
Liu Jingze said, "Every year on Qixi Festival, the farm's business is especially good. Cousin Hui wanted to go play with Huilin, but she didn't want to go. He had planned to go to work with her today. I was thinking of having Dad go to the farm to look after her, but now that Grandma is sick, I have to go to work."
Su Tiantian was not angry at all: "I have to go to work too. I will go to the farm to accompany you after get off work."
Career-oriented women are considerate of career-oriented men.
Liu Jingze said, "Aren't Zhihao and Aling going to get their marriage certificate today? He sent me a message saying he wants to have lunch at the farm. There's an event going on at the farm today, so there will be a lot of people there."
Su Tiantian said: "They celebrate theirs, and I accompany you. They certainly didn't think of inviting us to celebrate with them."
Su Zhihao and Li Yunling really wanted to celebrate with each other, so they sent a message to Liu Jingze in order to save him a seat.
However, Liu Jingze felt that Su Tiantian was bright and beautiful at the moment, and looked pretty no matter how she looked. It was sweet for him to have his beloved by her side even though he knew he had to work overtime on Valentine's Day night (this holiday is the peak season for the catering industry, and Liu Jingze almost always has to work overtime).
